Movie Man ‘Outraged’ by ‘Gutted’ Remark
November 8, 2008
Local Kent man, Michael Spicer, was outraged yesterday when he opened his copy of the Folkestone Herald to discover that the word ‘gutted’ had been attributed to him in a newspaper article. ‘I was outraged,’ said the 31 year-old writer and actor. ‘I can’t even begin to describe how outraged I am but trust me, I’m outraged,’ he went on. ‘I have never used the word “gutted”. Well, except just then, obviously. I prefer “distraught” or “devastated”. Never “gutted”. Never,’ he elaborated unnecessarily.

The offending article, yesterday.
‘I spoke to the Folkestone Herald in good faith,’ Spicer continued, bafflingly, ‘and this is the reward I get? I’m an award winning actor – people just can’t attribute the word “gutted” to award winning actors willy-nilly…hey where are you going? Is the interview over?’ he concluded.
